NAME
sccs2rcs — SCCS to RCS conversion utility
SYNOPSIS
sccs2rcs [–Ffile...][–O][–v][–Yfile] file ...
DESCRIPTION
Note: The MPE/iX implementation of this utility does not function exactly as this man page
describes. For details, see the MPE/iX NOTES section at the end of this man page.
sccs2rcs takes SCCS files as input and produces equivalent RCS files as output. SCCS is a
UNIX revision control system. Each input file must be an SCCS file.
sccs2rcs attempts to preserve as much information as possible when converting from
SCCS
to RCS, as follows:
• The author, date, and time of all revisions are preserved. The state of each revision is set
to Exp.
• The descriptive text and all log messages are preserved.
• The access list of users allowed to make revisions is preserved.
• If the
SCCS file has its m (working file name) flag set, the name of the output RCS file is the
name specified with the m flag; otherwise, the name of the
RCS file is the same as the
name of the SCCS file, with the s. prefix removed if present.
• If the
SCCS file has its d (default revision) flag set, the corresponding revision in the RCS
file is set to be the default branch, as if rcs –b had been used. See rcs(1) for more
information.
• If MR (Modification Request) numbers are provided with any
SCCS revisions, these num-
bers are added to the log messages associated with the corresponding RCS revisions.
The file permissions for output RCS files are set according to your RCS configuration file.
At present, sccs2rcs does not preserve locks. Files locked under SCCS are not locked in the
corresponding RCS file. These files can be relocked using rcs –l.
The base name of the path specified by file must begin with the prefix s. (the standard SCCS
file prefix).
If the directory containing file has an RCS subdirectory, the RCS output file is placed there;
otherwise, the RCS output file is placed in the same directory as file. In both cases, the RCS suf-
fix ,v is appended to the output file name.
